Confessions of a Right Wing Extremist

I recently found out I am a Right Wing Extremist, as defined by Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security. I'm trying to figure out what tipped her off; my attendance at church, my voting record, the flags on the front of my house, the fact that I belonged to the Boy Scouts of America (an obvious anti-gay militia), belong to the NRA, served in the military, or am married to the opposite sex. If the truth be known, I'm surprised I got away with so much for as long as I did.

As an ex-employee of the DHS, I know several people there who fit the definition.

Been called a Red Neck for yrs & wear that one w/ pride. Guess I have a new hat now.
Was asked today out of the blue by one of our 18 yr old young men who had read it, "Bro Jerry, are you a domestic terrorist?"
Yes I am & not very hard to find on Sunday Morning.
Never have been PC. Now I find out I am DC.

Since my response, and the anticipated comments, weren't gun-related, I moved it over here:

I guess part of the "uniform of the day" will consist of a camoflaged John Deer tractor ballcap, with a gunshow bought t-shirt with "Infidel" emblazoned on it over Wrangler jeans and Bates high-ankle boots...
Ohhhh, forgot the "Skoal" ring in the weak-hand back pocket...

Just out of curiosity, which type are are you - a white supremacist, or a violent antigovernmentalist?
From the actual DHS report:
Threats from white supremacist and violent antigovernment groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts. Nevertheless, the consequences of a prolonged economic downturn—including real estate foreclosures, unemployment, and an inability to obtain credit—could create a fertile recruiting environment for rightwing extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to those in the past.
And just for what its worth, that last bit about confrontations in the past makes reference later on in the report to the McVeigh/Murrah event. I'm not saying they aren't targetting us, but the DHS report doesn't seem to be doing so...

I've been on
several watchlists pretty much constatnly since about 1985. I don't feel particularly threatened by it. I figure it's just an excuse to scoop up all my communications.

That "Somewhere in Texas" of yours sounds pretty suspicious to me!
